Ha Long, Vietnam
Shielded by majestic karstic peaks, Ha Long reveals itself through a string of spectacular landscapes. Known the world over for its bay, listed with UNESCO, this city in northern Vietnam is lesser known for its heritage. That is a shame, as the authenticity and cultural richness of Ha Long is surprising. Boasting a unique mix of modern architecture and heritage from the dynasty of the Hung kings, the tourism capital of the Quang Ninh province promises unexpected moments in its bustling streets and breathtaking panoramas of one of the most beautiful bays in the world. ...

Chan May, Vietnam
From Chan May, you will head to Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city was the political, cultural, and religious center of the country during the 19th century and until 1945. From this period, it has retained an exceptional architectural complex of monuments including the Hue Citadel, the seven imperial tombs of the Nguyen dynasty, and the Thien Mu Pagoda. Along the Perfume River, succumb to the charms of this fascinating place that recounts part of the fascinating history of Vietnam. ... Read More
Da Nang, Vietnam
Midway between Ho Chi Minh City to the south and Hanoi to the north, Da Nang enjoys an ideal location in Vietnam. The old colonial town has skilfully navigated the transition to economic growth, becoming a wealthy tourist destination. With its five Marble Mountains, its 72-metre high Lady Buddha, and white-sand beach, Da Nang will create some magical memories, made sublime by a secular culinary tradition that has nothing left to prove. It is also the gateway to the country's treasures, including the cities of Hoi An and Hue, which are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. ... Read More
Nha Trang, the capital of the Khanh Hoa province in Vietnam, is a coastal city with 300,000 inhabitants. Famous for its long 7-kilometre white-sand beach along which runs Tran Phu Street, the city's main thoroughfare, Nha Trang is a member of the Club of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World, an international association that includes 41 bays. The bay is the reason the city is sometimes called the "Riviera of the South China Sea". You will have the opportunity to discover the city during a rather original experience: a tour in a rickshaw. ... Read More
The Saigon River originates in Phum Daung in the south-east of Cambodia and runs through Saigon before flowing into the South China Sea further south, to the north-east of the Mekong Delta. Along its shores, you will see traditional stilt houses, dwellings from the colonial period, Buddhist temples, and daring skyscrapers. This architectural eclecticism will afford you a glimpse of new and ancient Vietnamese traditions. On this cruise, you will also be able to admire the lush, tropical natural environment along this mythical river that is more than 170 kilometers (105 miles) long. ... Read More
Ho Chi Minh City (Formerly Saigon), Vietnam
Located near the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam. It is both the historic heart and economic hub. Formerly Saigon, the city is an imposing avant-guard metropolis. You can admire its famous central post office and its emblematic Reunification Palace. From 95 years of French presence, the city has kept some remarkable monuments, like the Cathedrale Notre-Dame with its Neo-Gothic facade built in 19th-century red brick. You'll succumb to the magic of this hectic city, where everything is about contrast, like the very brightly coloured district of Cholon, Saigon's "Chinatown". ... Read More
To the south of Vietnam, the archipelago of the Con Dao Islands, located in the South China Sea, is composed of sixteen rocks covered in lush vegetation. A regular stopover on the Maritime Silk Road connecting China to Europe between the 2nd and 13th centuries, the islands were mentioned by Marco Polo during his voyage from China to India in 1292. A former English and French trading post, the archipelago became a French colony in 1861 using the name Pulo Condor. A penitentiary center was built there and used to imprison opponents of the colonial regime. During the Vietnam War, the Saigon regime and the United States locked up communist enemies there until 1975. In its idyllic natural setting, Con Dao has become a memorial site and a symbol of the fight for independence. ... Read More

Nicknamed the Garden City, Singapore stretches across Malaysia's southernmost region. Experience the vibrant hustle and bustle of this city-state for yourself at the Marina Bay. No too far away is the historic centre, offering up a unique smorgasbord of neoclassical buildings and contemporary towers. Decked out in topiary, the pavements of Orchard Road are also home to countless shopping centres. The colourful markets in Chinatown and Little India are the perfect opportunity to quell hunger pangs in a hawker centre, one of the city's traditional snack bars. Between the two districts, get a slice of history with a trip to the Raffles' Landing Place. It was here that Englishman Sir Raffles, the founder of the city, is said to have arrived one fateful day in January 1819. ... Read More
